The picture never quite finds its tone.

The New Republic
Rating: 4/5 --
Hepburn, shedding her established persona with glee, is particularly great, while Frederic Raphael's acerbic screenplay has touches of material he'd explore decades later with Eyes Wide Shut.

The Skinny
[With] Hepburn, heart-stoppingly gorgeous but also giving the strongest, most adult performance of her career... -- Grade: A

It's more facile than poignant.

A benchmark of marital dischord with luminous Hepburn, cheeky Finney
Atlantic City Weekly

Imagine if Richard Linklater's three Before films were all rolled into one movie...

Despite its visual trickery, it's one of the most emotionally honest films ever made in America.

Product Description:
After 12 years of marriage, British couple Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney find themselves wondering whether they should continue forward through life together or go their separate ways. Bickering and bliss get equal time as husband and wife remember the past in its sunny and stormy times, and this perceptive tale of the struggle to create and maintain a fulfilling marriage rings true in nearly every scene.
Seven years earlier, director Stanley Donen explored the stress fractures in marriage with Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr, and Robert Mitchum in the marvelously keen dramatic comedy THE GRASS IS GREENER, and Donen returned to the subject again in the early 1980s in BLAME IT ON RIO with less empathy and more nudity. TWO FOR THE ROAD, however, has always been the most popular of this trio of films about marriage on the rocks, as Hepburn and Finney give winning performances of partners who love each other but aren't sure they're in love anymore. Screenwriter and novelist Frederic Raphael's sparkling screenplay gives the movie zest and poignancy.
